Yugi wants Yami to simply be his friend. Yami simply wants Yugi. Simple right? What happens when they are thrown together to write a school essay?
The next day in class the teacher started the class with a unexpected announcement.
Okay class, Now that you have all researched the topic sufficiently, I will be putting you into pairs to collaborate and polish up your essays."
A groan went up from most of the class. Only quiet Yugi and the brooding Yami didn't seem to mind. In fact Yami was smirking slightly. -: Hmmm she finally found a way to make group work effective. Now no one can say they've done it all. :-
"The reason I had you all research and take your own notes is that now you all will be contributing to the finished work. Let's not forget what happened last time you lazy lot did a group assignment, Only Yugi's group and Yami's group handed anything in. And I'm damn sure that those two were the only one's that did anything. Alright Now I'll read your partnerships out. No they can not be changed, no excuses. Does everyone understand?"
"Yes miss" came the combined reply from the class.
"Good, Jou your with Duke, Malik with Marik, Bakura with Ryou, Yugi," Yugi looked up at the teacher, "with Yami." Yugi spun around in his seat and stared at Yami, wide eyed. He took a deep breath and smiled weakly at Yami. Yami in return raised an eyebrow and smirked at him. He gulped and tuned back into what the teacher was saying behind him. "So with that said, I expect you to meet up together outside class time." The bell for end of class rang, "Well have a nice day , See you tomorrow and remember one week is only seven days, don't procrastinate." She sighed as the last students left the classroom. -: Hopefully this time I won't be given bundles of blank paper with the excuse it is written in invisible marker. :-
Yugi sat in his usual spot on top of the wall. It was the perfect place to seat without people noticing you. He was thinking about his study partner, Yami. : Maybe I can just get all his notes and type then up with mine, then I'd only need to see him in class. But then again he might not want me to take his notes. There is going to be things he thinks are important to include that I'd probably leave out.
"Yugi"
Yugi lost his balance on the wall as he heard someone call him from behind. As he started falling he felt strong arms wrap around him, catching his fall before he hit the ground. The person lowed him down until they both sat on the ground, the persons arms still holding Yugi's slight form. As he looked up into the deep red of Yami's eyes, they do longer seemed so scary. They even seemed to hold concern.
"Sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to startle you, I was just coming to talk to you about the essay. Would you be free to meet this afternoon.?"
Yugi pulled his gaze away from Yami's eyes and looked at the ground blushing. "Ah yeah, I'm free. Do you want to go to my place or yours?" Yami raised his eyebrow, smirking again, which only made Yugi blush more.
"My place is closer, then you can continue home once we're finished."
-: How does Yami know where I live:- Yugi asked himself. "I've gone int your shop a couple of times, in case you were wondering how I knoew where you lived."Yami supplied for him. "Ah of course. Yeah your place sounds good. Meet at front gates end of classes?"
"Sure, I'll see you then" Now Yugi looked down and noticed that Yami was stil holding him. He felt a heat flood his body and his face turn beet red again. He looked up at Yami. Yami chuckled; he stood up holding his hand out to help Yugi up as well.
"Ah thanks.. Ah well I'll see you later then..." Yugi blushed again then walked away in a daze.
Yami watched Yugi as he walked away, Yugi suddenly swerved just before he walked into a tree. Yami chuckled again.-: This is going to be an interesting week:- He thought to himself.
